Does the use of non-antibiotic-impregnated allograft for bone defects during reimplantation increase the risk of recurrence of surgical site infections/periprosthetic joint infections (SSIs/PJIs)?

Authors: Mohammad Ghazavi, Jeffrey Lange, Mansour Abolghasemian, Paul Lichstein

RECOMMENDATION: There is no evidence to demonstrate that using non-antibiotic impregnated allograft for management of bone defects during reimplantation (following PJIs) increases the risk of recurrence of SSIs/PJIs.

LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Limited

DELEGATE VOTE: Agree: 88%, Disagree: 9%, Abstain: 3% (Super Majority, Strong Consensus)
